Congresswoman Underwoodhttp://glenellynforum.com/showthread.php?2863-Congresswoman-Underwood&goto=newpost
Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:32:55 GMTIn the campaign, she 'played' a nurse in her commercials, despite apparently not actually having worked as one professionally. She moved back to her parents basement in Naperville to run for congress, but according to the article, may have voted both here and in DC. I'll bet there are people licking their chops to run against her in 2 years.

The David is David Krupa, 19, a freshman at DePaul University who drives a forklift part time. He’s not a political powerhouse. He’s just a conservative Southwest Side teenager studying political science and economics who got it in his head to run for alderman in a race that pits him against the most powerful ward organization in Chicago.

The Goliath is the 13th Ward Democratic Organization run by House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, aka Boss Madigan, the most powerful politician in the state. Boss Madigan has long hand-picked his aldermen. He likes them loyal and quiet. The current silent alderman of the 13th Ward is Marty Quinn.

Quote:

To get on the ballot, Krupa was required to file 473 valid signatures of ward residents with the Chicago Board of Elections. Krupa filed 1,703 signatures.

...

An organized crew of political workers — or maybe just civic-minded individuals who care about reform — went door to door with official legal papers. They asked residents to sign an affadavit revoking their signature on Krupa’s petition.

Revocations are serious legal documents, signed and notarized. Lying on a legal document is a felony and can lead to a charge of perjury.

...

More than 2,700 revocations were turned over to the elections board to cancel the signatures on Krupa’s petitions. Chicago Board of Elections officials had never seen such a massive pile of revocations.

and now the best part:

Quote:

“We turned in 1,703 signatures. We compared them to the 2,796 revocations, and found only 187 matches, meaning only 187 people who signed David’s petitions filed revocations,” Dorf said. “So, what about the 2,609 people who didn’t sign for David but who filed revocations? That’s fraud. That’s perjury. That’s felony.”

Chris Nybo, who served the 24th Illinois Senate District since his election in 2014, has resigned from his office.

The Republican 24th Senate District Selection Committee announced Nov. 27 the appointment of Yadav “Nick” Nathwani, a Milton Township trustee from Glen Ellyn, to the Office of State Senator for the 24th Senate District of Illinois

Wondering why Nybo resigned? maybe to get Nathwani's name out there for a future run? does he have to resign his Milton township seat?
